So i'm just driving and press the brakes to slow down and it feels fine. Then i press it again and it felt like it just lost pressure. First i thought it was the pads or something. So i changed the pads (all 4 are hawk) and change the rotors. And it still feels weak, and the pads had padding left on them.

I took it somewhere and they tried to bleed the system and couldn't get 1 caliper valve to open up to bleed it. So i just just said o well. I just took it a chevy dealer and they told me that there is nothing wrong with it. Response pressure is 2 inch (average is between 2-3.5 inches), the master cylinder is fine and it's all good and dandy by there standards.

I've been considering getting the bleeding screws that "auto-bleed" the brakes. Anyone have any ideas whats up?

Also when driving my 2000 camaro, a suburban and a benz, my 95 Z28 feels weak.

 

When you took it to the Chevy dealer and they managed to get the bleeder screw loose, did they bleed that line? If not, you still need to, probably should hit the other wheel on the same axle too.

If i was to bleed all the of the system whats the prosedure to get new fluid back in?


Would the auto-bleeder screws like the ones on thunderracing help any?

 

You pour fluid into the reservoir under the hood. Here's some instructions on bleeding brakes - http://www.go-fast.org/z28/maintenance.html#Brakes

I presume by "auto-bleeder" you mean the speed bleeders? They'll help you bleed your brakes if you don't have a friend to sit in the car and push the brake pedal, but I'm not a big fan of them...
